Soon basketball teams as well as American boys were wearing Converse âChuck Taylorâ All Stars. In the 1930s Chuck Taylor designed the white high top model for the 1936 Olympics, and the shoe with its patriotic red and blue trim became very popular along with all black canvas and leather models of the All Star.
Now Converse, the century-old American footwear maker, says some of the core elements of its widely recognizable Chuck Taylor sneakers â black stripes and a rubber toe topper â are being co-opted by Walmart, Kmart, Skechers and others.
